About NEXUS Treatment Center – Lewistown
Located in Lewiston, Montana is the NEXUS Treatment Center. This is a secured residential facility that offers services in lieu of traditional incarceration for qualifying participants. This program works specifically with male offenders who’ve been convicted of a methamphetamine related charge. Many of the men here have either been caught with methamphetamine on their person or were participating in or operating a methamphetamine lab.
This facility is the result of a partnership between the Montana Department of Corrections and Community, Counseling, and Correctional Services Inc.
Although the residents here are completing a correctional sentence, you’ll find that treatment is rooted in solution oriented recovery that focuses on helping minimize the risk of relapse or criminal behaviors once you complete the treatment program.
They apply a therapeutic community model of treatment here which includes different correctional services and programs that address your substance use struggles and criminal behavior.
There’s a strong focus on helping you think through the choices you’ve made that have led to your behavioral health struggles. You’ll work with counselors through targeted therapy that will help you restructure your mindset. You’ll get to work through what it means to be a thoughtful and productive member of the community by identifying which triggers led to your addiction struggles and criminal behaviors.
In addition to the recovery and criminal programming here, there’s also general healthcare support through transportation services to medical and dental services,
As you work through the programs here, you’ll find that there’s a big focus on addiction education. The men here get exposed to methamphetamine use from an educational standpoint where they learn about how this chemical dependency affects your body.
This educational support aims to help you understand the “why” behind the counseling you’ll receive and the positive outcomes that follow deliberate choices to stop methamphetamine use.
